First Day!!

I was so nervous last night that I really did not sleep... tossing and turning... staring at the clock. Both my husband and I got up waaaayyyyy before the alarm was set to go off. I think this is partly because the snowfall and fear the of the roads. My hubby was super sweet and drove me to work in my car. Really he hates driving his car in this weather, but still he could have told me to drive his since he had to go further. There is something nice about being able to relax on your way to the first day of a new job.

This morning I kept having thoughts like, "what if I don't belong here," "what am I going to do and will I be good at it," and "I hope they like me." I totally felt like a kid moving to a new school. Hoping to fit in and not make a complete fool out of myself. Heck, I don't even have my badge to get in yet. I was at the mercy of other people all day. In fact, when I first got there I ended up waiting and chatting with someone that was there to meet their probation officer. He was really nice though.

Well I have to say that I did like my first day at work. It is always hard to go into a place and really not know anyone or really have an idea as to what you will be doing. It was a typical Monday, meaning that it seemed like computers and other electronics did not want to work with or for me. But I was able to laugh it off. My co-workers were really nice. They gave me space and time to do things but at the same time I did not feel neglected. I met some very interesting people... though I cannot disclose anything. LOL.. it is fun to feel like you have a secret.

My day went rather quick. I felt like I had only been there for half a day when all the sudden it was time to go. I know that the days to come will not seem that way to me. I am super excited that I get to decorate my office. So any really good ideas for a long skinny office is open for discussion. Actually my boss put that in my schedule for next week... time for Lisa to rearrange her office. LOL. I think that is wonderful.

However, please know that I missed Dessa.... I wished she was there with me... so I was happy that we got to text back and forth for a few minutes.

I have to say that I think that my boss and my boss's boss will get along great with me. We seem to have the same sort of goals. I guess time will tell.
